the amount OF work required. In tunes OF
pressure. such as when there was big de-

mentioned, and that is the final disposition OF
the notes and securities after they have been
used and passed from hand to hand until they
are thoroughly worn out. When the bilis

worn out they are canceied, and thsn, under

are placed in a macerater and ground into
pulp again. Tbs pulp is worked into heavy
pasteboard and sold TO a firm who has con-
